Mnemonics
Like shortcut keys, mnemonics allow you to quickly access menu options or fields by pressing a key on your keyboard instead of using your mouse or the arrow keys to move through menus and dialog boxes. While shortcut keys work any time, mnemonics work only when the appropriate menu or dialog box is already active.
For example, when you are in a meeting, you can increase the volume of your speakers in any of the following ways:
- Manually choosing the menu option: Choose Tools - Audio - Increase Speaker Volume.
- Using the keyboard shortcut: Press CTRL+I.
- Using mnemonics: Press the following mnemonics in this order: T to activate the Tools menu, U to activate the Audio option, and P to activate the Increase Speaker Volume option.
The mnemonic is usually the underlined letter in a menu, menu option, or dialog box. Press the mnemonic letter on your keyboard to activate the menu option or to place your cursor in a specific field.
The mnemonics in the Meeting Room are not underlined. See the topics below for a list of the mnemonics that are available in each type of meeting:
